Thread: Melee DPS jobless in Bahamut Coil

I'm a dragoon, geared, experienced, but having a tough time finding a job slot on bahamut coil, especially on turn 2. They had made the fight mechanic heavy reliance on silence, which will make every party should have mandatory 2 bard.

With 2 bard, melee dps will have only one slot or nothing at all, since perception said that caster is better than melee, especially they dont have to dodge so much

There were times, that i was selling myself & waiting for 4-5 hours on wineport, with nobody asking for melee dps, or send tell to me for party

Square Enix, if you are reading this, pls reduce ADS High Voltage frequency, so 1 bard is enough.... so we, melee dps can have a job

My static clears 1-4 in around a hour and I'm a goon all the way.On turn 2 basically the BRD gets the first silence then both PLDs hit the second, as long one lands in interrupt then profit. You'll shine again at turn 4 because your single target dps is pretty good and you can AoE better than a MNK, even a BRD.

I never played other job before, which makes me knew not much how they work.

These frustration actually kicked in for long waiting time for party and one incident that the party have 2 paladin and 2 bard, which (i dont know why) always missed the high voltage. And suddenly i was the one to blame because i was hit by aoe all the time, and consuming a lot of the healer mana. I said "how the fck, should i dodge if i was consistently always on paralyze". End of story i was kicked out for another bard to fit in, so they could have better silence .

Now you guys have enlighten me, i know that the asshole party was just to darn stupid.

But the long time in waiting due to less melee dps demand still a problem. A full time worker like me (which only have 2-3 hours to play a day) would have a problem finding a static party

We ran turn 2 with only one bard for the first time last night. It's no problem. Though most coil raids will prefer two bards, I assume. You don't have to reroll bard, like some people might say. Just level one and get relic+dl. As a raidleader for my FC things are so much easier when people have bothered to level and gear more than just one job. I understand your frustration, but instead of whining on the forums-- go lvl a bard.

Same old, same old.

T2 can easily be done with 1 BRD (BRD / Paladin Silence rotation) and the run will be much smooth that way.

Blame the mindset of stupid people, not the class.

Actually not saying that melee is weak, neither feel that way when playing my dragoon. Also not blaming bard. I did blame the mechanic. Silence-high voltage mechanic is so crucial on the fight, that people will choose min 2 bard as a mandatory slot. Allagan rot will have people choose caster then melee, because of less probability of accidental passing the rot when dodging.
Missing high voltages or messing your rot, will result party wipe, it is then people will tend to choose more "cant pass without them/less probability messing up the fight" job, which resulted melee dps which have "keep moving dps/messenger of rot from tank" role losing their job or have very limited vacancy available. Absolutely agree with you. In a perfect world, when everybody in party is competence, this fight would not be as hard. What i say, finding a party is hard
